Kendra Griffith is Belize’s leading pioneer in skincare, with a full line of skincare products ranging from cleansers to scrubs and salves. Her business, “Hello Body”, has become well known for its product quality and effectiveness, and Kendra has mastered her craft of creating solutions for skincare problems. The business focuses on providing natural and organic skincare remedies, specializing in Eczema. Hello Body came to life due to Kendra’s own struggle with skincare after being diagnosed with Eczema. Upon diagnosis, she soon realized that there were little to no adequate results from the highly recommended pharmaceutical and commercial skincare products. With the help and motivation of family and friends, she was able to develop and launch her first products, starting a business that has since greatly expanded. Kendra is also now exporting her products to countries such as Taiwan and the United States. She continues to remain humble in her business venture as she accredits a great deal of her success to the support of her Belizean community. In addition to her belief that the support of the local community aids in the success of a business, Kendra also believes in the importance of business owners and entrepreneurs being able to assist each other and succeed together.
